hi I'm not sure what you mean by is the battery user replaceableif by that you mean is the battery interchangeable for a new 1 or for 1 of the different powerthe answer is yes and the battery is easily changeable and exchangeable by removing the back flap with the 2 clips is easily removedas far as wanting change the battery for any reason there is no need the batteries in extremely powerful lithium ion battery that hold its charge of to 9.5 hours on 1 chargeon the other hand since it is an ultrabook the RAM can be a little bit tricky to change out although extremely possiblewith minimal effortI would of course include a manual on exactly how to do thatalso I own a Ultrabook tool kit for for these types of repairs and upgrades I would be glad to include this with your order for an extra 20 dollarskeep in mind the toolkit is specifically made to be used for computers and it's not just a regular toolkit I can send you a picture if you likethank you for your interest and I hope to hear from you

Yes it definitely is replaceable and I was able to fairly easily and quickly open the battery compartment and remove the battery.

Yes, you can upgrade the memory up to 32 GB, but not more than 32G.The battery only working about 80 minutes, so it is not necessary to upgrade the memory. everytime, the battery need to by charged again.

I have not looked into the upgrade of ram as of yet. Strong laptop from what I have seen so far. Battery is built in. I ran the laptop w/o being plugged in and got about 6.5 hrs of use on the battery life. Hope this helps.

The battery to power the laptop is removable by the user, and easily replaceable. The battery for the BIOS is internal, and would have to be replaced by a technician.

Yes, you can easily replace the battery.The sim card needs to be micro size. If the one you already have is bigger, there are tools that you can use to cut it.Amazon sells those cutters too.

battery is not meant to be replaced, so that usually means there is going to be a process in doing so (removing entire back panel and such). I suggest taking it to repair shop.. or look for a tut online. The tutorial may not be for this specific model, but they have videos for similar models that show you how to gain access to the insides(for ssd, battery change, memory, etc.)

You can go up to 2GB RAM (cost: $24 at Crucial). It's easy enough to switch out the sticks. Don't know about switching out the HD. HP makes a 6-cell battery for it.

Definitely not easily user replaceable, the battery is soldered to the board. My battery swelled up after several years of service, so I broke open the case to recycle the battery. Never tried running from USB power only.

The battery can be replaced by the consumer if they you can use a screwdriver. I bought a standard skill set with the add on tips. Stars, phillips, and straights. The smallest 2 star tips fit all those tiny little screws. It is not hard. I have done it many times. I'm currently swapping out a mother board. And it's not a bad phone. For an android. It runs faster than most. 3 members of my family using them now and we been through about 6 or 7 now in past 3 years. It is a good phone and querkty keyboard a big plus.

No, it's not considered user replaceable. Though here is a video of someone taking it apart, and he shows how you would replace the battery if you're adventurous and careful, and if batteries are available: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aI1Lm_-1djY&mode=related&search=

It has a 2700Mah lithium polymer battery which is internal. There are some erroneous specs out there that I have seem including an AMD CPU vs ACTUAL Cortex A9. So no, no replaceable battery.

Depends on what you're using it for. I get about three hours of use out of the battery. I modified it and bought a 120GB SSD drive and 4GB of RAM. Those upgrades made it super fast, and it does all the user basics with ease.

RAM on this unit is soldered to the motherboard. No user upgrade possible. But you could upgrade the drive (SSD).
